  ******Upcoming Events & Meetings******

We may have the opportunity to host “Lose the Training Wheels Bike-Riding Program” the Week of August 10th. If this is something in which you might be interested, please e-mail us at dsaf2@optonline.net

Lose The Training Wheels™ is more than just a bike-riding program. For many children with disabilities, it’s a seemingly impossible task they can typically master in less than a week’s time. Within days of learning to ride, many children exhibit independent behaviors for the first time ever. This achievement, in turn, creates a gateway of opportunity, helping them gain assurance and self-reliance in many other aspects of their lives.
